I love her interpretation of this song. In my mind, I have always pictured it being performed this way. This isn't a song that should be performed 100% hopeful or 100% defiant. The ideal performance of this song would entail a bit of self doubt and fear at the beginning, hinting at how jaded the performer currently is regarding her love life. That timid beginning should quickly lead to a hint of defiance flecked with anger (at having lost in love so many times before, inwardly rejecting the possibility of giving up on love, willing to give it another go even risking being hurt again) and at the crescendo the performer should be portraying an almost hysterical amount of hope, not portraying the absence of fear but rather the courage to fall in love again even while fearing failure.
I totally agree! Jane Horrocks rendition when they revived it was one of my favorites! That Cabaret use to be on RU-vid not sure if it still is. Alan Cumming reprised his role as the Emcee as well! I’m so glad for Audra McDonald performance, although so effortlessly stunning, she isn’t afraid of portraying raw grit. Edit: I found it! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IOs82ubFyFQ.html Edit edit: it was Jane Horrocks Cabaret I was thinking of not Maybe This Time.
This woman has an astonishing talent, and not just as a singer. Her 2019 Broadway performance at the Broadhurst theatre in Terrence McNally's "Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune" had to be seen to be believed.
Never heard this woman before, but from the first few notes I realized her strength... warm, powerful, and seductive, a truly exquisite voice. I've never heard better.
Okay, I just bawled my eyes out listening to Audra McDonald. I have never heard her sing before but I have seen her act and her performance in WIT staring Emma Thompson, was so deeply touching and real. I love everything she does.
This is a beloved song that's been performed by the best in the business over many years. It is often styled somewhat by the singer which usually works out OK. That said, I have never heard a version as stirring and beautiful as this. Perfect is a word that comes to mind. .
Wow!! I felt the whole story in that performance. I love how she executed this !!! She was trying to persuade the listening and convince them that thing will be different for her the next time. Wow !! I loved it
Maybe this time, I'll be lucky Maybe this time, he'll stay Maybe this time For the first time Love won't hurry away He will hold me fast I'll be home at last Not a loser anymore Like the last time And the time before Everybody loves a winner So nobody loved me; 'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,' That's what I long to be All the odds are in my favor Something's bound to begin It's got to happen, happen sometime Maybe this time I'll win
She was born in my hometown Fresno, California and was in the good company players with my mom they didn't know each other that well because Audra was so much older than her but it's cool to say that my mom did good company players with Audra McDonald, I always tell my theater friends it's just so cool!!
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I never thought I’d hear anyone ever come close to Liza Minnelli on this song. Thank you Miss McDonald for proving me wrong‼️ you’re not as good as Miss Minnelli, you’re better. Again, something I never thought possible.
Ms. McDonald has a brilliant way to make her vocal chords shine... and that's a thrill for anyone of us. But my feeling is that the narrator (singer) of the song knows almost for sure that this new relationship is not going to last but she needs it to be real, although she knows down deep that it's not the case. She's been in a "hundred" of relationships where she's felt that she's been giving her all and the results have been horrible. But she doesn't lose hope. The next guy she's involved with, she thinks he's all the things that all the men before weren't. She's so almost childishly excited that she isn't going to feel a little bit suspicious about the things that his new lover is doing. Just in a sentence, this song needs to be sung in an hurtful ironic way: I know you are not the one, but I need to feel that you are
[Verse] Maybe this time I'll be lucky Maybe this time he'll stay Maybe this time, for the first time Love won't hurry away He will hold me fast I'll be home at last Not a loser anymore Like the last time and the time before [Pre-Chorus] Everybody loves a winner So nobody loved me 'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy' That's what I long to be [Chorus] Well, all the odds are, they're in my favor Something's bound to begin It's gotta happen, happen sometime Maybe this time I'll win [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause everybody, they love a winner So nobody loved me 'Lady Peaceful', 'Lady Happy' That's what I long to be [Chorus] Well, all the odds are, they're in my favor Something's bound to begin It's gotta happen, happen sometime Maybe this time Maybe this time I'll win
I really didn't care for her in the 2015 Beauty and the Beast movie. She ruined the title song. Wobbly vibrato, scooping and sliding everywhere. I expected much better.
Amy Collins huh? She had 1 very short song in that movie and 4 lines of song at the end none of which were title songs, Emma Thompson sung the “title song” beauty and the beast though
Maybe this time I'll be lucky Maybe this time he'll stay Maybe this time for the first time Love won't hurry away He will hold me fast I'll be home at last Not a loser anymore Like the last time and the time before Everybody loves a winner So nobody loved me Lady peaceful Lady happy That's what I long to be Well, all the odds are, they're in my favor Something's bound to begin It's gotta happen Happen sometime Maybe this time I'll win Everybody, they love a winner So nobody loved me Lady peaceful Lady happy That's what I long to be Well, all the odds are, they're in my favor Something's bound to begin It's gotta happen Happen sometime Maybe this time I'll win
I love her singing and would really want to see her perform live. This is one song that ,while she does well, I have to say no one can top Liza's version.
